Equal Opportunities

The University is strongly committed to its Equal Opportunities Policy. The Policy is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that it is compliant with current legislation.

The law requires that no job applicant, employee, student or prospective student will receive less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, gender, or marital status. Where the law does not prescribe, every effort will be made to avoid discrimination on grounds of disability, religion, political belief, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, parental status, age (subject to normal student admission or retirement conventions) and trades union membership. The University is committed to a programme of actions to ensure that this Policy is fully effective.

An Equality & Diversity HR Manager is responsible for promoting the development and implementation of the policy through guidance, co-ordination of training courses, continual monitoring and disseminating best practice processes.
